"-Mathematical Problems in Climate Dynamics-"

Michael Ghil will be visiting CIMA from November 1st to November 13th 2018 and offering a six-lecture course as part of the activities organized by UMI 3351 IFAECI in relation with the project MATH-GEO of the MathAmSud Program, http://mathgeo.cima.fcen.uba.ar/

Organizado y Patrocinado por
El Instituto Franco-Argentino sobre Estudios de Clima y sus Impactos

Professor Michael Ghil

These lectures were previously offered at the Imperial College, More Info

Michael Ghil has worked on Climate Dynamics, Dynamical and Complex Systems, Extreme Events, Numerical and Statistical Methods, and Mathematical Economics. He is the author or editor of a dozen books and author or co-author of nearly 300 research and review articles. Many can be found on the website of his research group at UCLA. His honors and awards include the L.F. Richardson Medal of the EGU (2004), the E.N. Lorenz Lecture of the AGU (2005), a Plenary Lecture at the 7th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM 2011), the Alfred Wegener Medal of the EGU (2012), and Membership in the Academia Europaea (1998).

The guiding thread of the lectures will be bifurcation theory for systems of ordinary, stochastic and partial differential equations, as well as the ergodic theory of and statistical methods for such systems. The mathematics will be motivated by the physical observations and the results validated against the latter.
